Hi, I’ve implemented these security measures on my new droplet as part of the basic setup:
- Enabled SSH keys
- Disabled root login
- Disallowed password authentication
- Restricted use of PAM
- Changed port number
- Limited users through SSH
- Installed UFW firewall
Do you think these are sufficient or there are any other security aspects that I should have on the droplet before going ahead with LAMP or LEMP stack to eventually install WordPress?
Sharing of your personal experiences will be highly appreciated. Thanks. :)
